Plagiarism of the World.

These writers of weird tales are stealing
their plots and characters at wholesale
from foreign writers of past age. Tales
of the improbable are now the most salea-
BILE, and the hack writer's are dragging out
old story books and refitting their plots to
new ideas. Nearly every prominent story
of the weird, from She to Douglas
Duane" has been plagiarized, A most
prolific source of these writers is the Ger
man, and it was only recently, in reading
Edgar Fawcett's douglas Duane" | saw
almost word for word an old English
novel named "Wer reproduced. The
idea of this class of literature is to make
the improbable seem probable by the care
full use of scientific discoveries. Such
stories were very prolific in the half for
gotten literature of fifty years ago.
Another source is the famous books OF
ORIENTAL nations, which are filled with
fascinating, weird ideas, that only the
Oriental luxuriant imagination coul con-
ceive. With the Dhampada of the
Chinese, the Hindoo Pantheon, the Ma
habharata, the Pantchopakhyana, the Ja-
takas of Buddha, the book Bava Metzia,
the Falmud and the Kalewala, translated.
these plagiarists can choose the most mar
velous ideas and startling plots for their
stories. THE Corpse Demon" from an
old Indian book, has been plagiarized, and
so has the Book of Tholb," story found
ed on an old Egyptian papyrus

A Bnroness,s Three skins.

A curious story comes from England
that the Baroness Burdett Coutts has
something that no Other woman IN the
world possesses skins. All other
women have two. But what is the use of
great fortune if you can't afford your
self little unusual luxury now and then :?
The third kin is made of silk, and is so
exquisitely fine and close fitting that few
people have detected its presence. 1t is
said to cover her whole body from her
ankles to her chin, and they, for she has
sets of them, are woven specially for her
They are f9sh-colored of course, and
hide all wrinkles OF time with the natural
dissertations of the skin that are the re-
suit of age. Where the artificial skin
ends at the throat the Baroness weare a
splendid collar of jewels or a velvet band,
and she never takes off her gloves while
in evening dress, not even to eat her din
ner. In consequence of this curious
repair of the natural shrinkings and
wrinkliags of age, the Baroness is able to
wear her gowns decoRete. though since her
marriage with a man thirty years her
junior the Queen has never summoned
her to one OF her levees, where such q
costume is imperative.

A Georgia Cyclone Pit.

Perhaps the largest, best arranged, best
furnished and most costly cyclone pit in
the country is owned by Ed Brown, of
Eatonton. 1t is situated near the back
door of his residence and is large enough to
accommodate his whole family. The walls
are of brick, laid iu cement, the floor Is
carpeted, has fireplace and chimney, and
the room is handsomely furnished. The
family could spend the right there with
as much comfort as in the dwelling. In
preparing it Mr. Brown had an eye to its
permanency, and spared no expense in
making it pleasant aud comfortable. To
guard against the contingency of the house
blowing over on it and imprisoning the in
mates, a large sewer pipe leads off from the
pit in an opposite direction distance OF
100 yards, through which the family could
escape. This unique underground dwell
ing is thoroughly protected against water
rising from below or running in from
above. The cost was over $500.

The way 20 a Giri,s Heard.

Said Boston florist the other cay ;
Last Spring used to notice couple 60

and girl pretty and dainty, with lovely
brown hair and dark blue eyes. They
didn't know each other, but when the
young man went to business the girl was
sore to be somewhere around where she
could see him. Sac lived fight around
the corner, and she used to come in here
and pretend to be examining the flowers
as he passed Then she would look up
and watch him as he went down the
street. One day as be went by she looked
up and said to me: oh, what funny
hat and then carelessly, as she began
picking among the flowers: j wonder
who he is l came very near laughing,
for the previous day the young fellow had
been in to ask me who she was, and had
sent her some flowers. About a week
aflerward she came in with friend and

body had been sending her flowers every
morning, aud she did wish she could fad
out who it was,
s.Well. the best part of it all came after
ward One morning he came in as usual,
and the gardener took him back into the
conservatory. While he was there the
girl entered and stood near the counter
looking toward the window. Presently
he returned, and he started for the door
briskly, he said; Wei, send those flow
ers as usual up to 24-street.' Neither
knew the other was near, and hearing the
number of her house mentioned she turn
ed around and they met face to face.
Well, | never saw such an embarrassed
couple in all my days. She had big
Jacqueminot near her face, and it would
have been hard to tell which was the red

come any more. Not long after saw them
going by together. They both looked in,
and when they saw me he laughed and she
klushed - Boston Traveller.

W. II. II. Murray has unravelled the
sea-serpent, and the threads from which
that fascinating mystery was woven prove
to be long lines of little white-breasted,
slaty-blacked plovers, flying 10 undulating
courses just above the surface of the
water. Mr. Murray only applies this ex-
PLANTATION TO the Lake Champlain serpent,
of which we have heard SO much in past
seasons from trustworthy witnesses and
which had just begun its Summer sport
ing. This apparition M. Murray has
seen with his Eyes and examined it with
1eld glass, and he testifies that the iIlu-
sion is most remarkable. He describes it
much as other people have done, declar-
ing that ii was the most startling thing he
ever saw: Sin length be seemed at least
100 longer than canal boat would at that
distance. His color was at times of a
slaty brown, at others he seemed to be
glistening white like the scales of shad.
His motion was undnlatory, and kind
of quiverng through his whole length
characterized him. He moved with as
toulshing rapidity toward the North, and
when he was showing the full length of
hts appearance he sank from sight" But
in the house was q strong field glass,

the serpent" with this result; The i'm
mense sea monster at once resolved itself
into several hundreds of small birds of the
plover family, flying in a long line which
swung up and down, to the right or left,
as they flew. The under side of their
wings and breasts was snowy white; their
backs were slaty brown. When in the
long or short curvings of their flight they
were flying at such an angle as regards
the gazer, that the under side of their
wings and breasts were seen, the serpent
long and white appeared. When they
took some slant at another angle, their
backs ana upper sides of their wings were
turned toward the gazer, the white line
faded out and the monster seemed to sink
from view The quiyering aid vibratory
motions of the monster were thus ex-
planned. The quick futter of their little
wings in long line extended, the gradual
swoop up and in their flight, made the APP

Mr.. sackert Enter.aIn. bic. emerson.

While Ralph Waldo Emerson was on
bis way to California several years ago he
fell in with a gentleman who was al
together so sociable and chatty that an
otherwise tedious journey was rendered
as cheerful as you please. This gentle
mans name was Sackett, land he told Mr.
Emerson that he resided in San Francisco
this was all the information he ventured
concerning himself. but from bis con-
versation Mr. Emerson gathered that his
newly made Acquaintance was indeed a
gentleman of intelligence and standing.
MIR. Sackett pointed out all the points of
interest along the way, retaied alot of
amusing anecdotes and, best all, was an
attentive listener when Mr.. Emerson fell
to discoursing upon the Is, the To Be, the
Seeming and other frothy subjects with
which his scholarly and sanity intellect
seemed thoroughly conyersant.
The natural consequence was that Mr..
Emerson came to the conclusion that Mr..
Sackett was as charming gentleman as
be ever met with, and it was in this posi-
tive conviction that he accepted Mr. Sack
ett's invitatiea to dine with him i'm
mediately upon their arrival in San Fran
CISCO. The next morning Mr., Emerson
was we'll nigh paralyzed to find in all the
loCdi papers Inls StaItilng personal nOtlce.

wood used in the manufacture of furai-

The Jerusalem of To-day.

The Holy City looked very prosperous
and be sutifal from this point-Mount OH
yet-and the wind in the olives made a
pleasant sound; 80 we stood and looked,
and the sacred teachings from all our lives
came up about US whole and fair, as they
had been before we saw the Jerusalem of
to-day. A rough field lay all about US, with
scanty soil, where the gnarled old olives,
standing apart, looked as il they had fought
hard for life. And all over the place wheg-
ever nature predominated over the sligat
cultivation, there grew q low bush-they
call it 'schaparral" in Texas-itis all thorns
and gray; at least, thu leaves had not yet
appeared. Everywhere they grew, these
low, thorny buskos; SO it was not far they
had to seek the Masters crown.
Or top of the mount there are few
dirty novels and mosque with high
Ininarat, from the top OF which we had a
beautiful view. The Dead Sea, lying blue
and still, low down among its vsrdareless
hilis-the course of the Jordan outlined in

1t was from hill top on tie road to Beth

hem, and all the fair green plans where
still the shepherds watch their hocks. BY
the time one makes the journey to B9thle-
hem, however, one has become dull and
unenthusiastic. The town is dirty and the
guide talks on incessantly: thu Manager, a
neatly finished marble box; the Altar of
the Star, the Altar of the Innocents. the
tomb of st. Jereme and the tomb of st.
Paula seem all to be of equal value in the
eyes of the Franciscan brother who shows
them to Won
